Westpark, Munich

A superb example of the new German garden style of planting mimicking nature and using herbaceous perennials can be found at the Westpark public park in Munich. The designer Rosemary Weisse is famous for her great drifts of flowers and grasses and her design for a new style of alpine gardens.

Paths wind between terraces to a valley planted with waves of iris and numerous other species. The culmination of German horticultural and ecological research over the last few decades has led to this magnificent garden park.
